X-Ray Single Crystal Diffractometer
Bruker Apex Duo

X-Ray Single Crystal Diffractometer

  • Cu-radiation for absolute configuration and protein screening
  • Mo-radiation for high throughput and charge density
  • Mo-sealed tube with Triumph monochromator
  • Fast and fully-automated wavelength switch
  • Cu-IμS microfocus tube with multilayer provides up to 30 times the intensity compared to graphite monochromated sealed Cu-tube

First-time users should click here for an Introduction to Integration and here for a step-by-step guide to using the Apex-Duo.

Rigaku R-Axis Single Crystal DiffractometerÌý

Rapid Rigaku

  • High power rotating anodes provide high flux for shorter experiments compared to sealed tube sources
  • Mo- and Ag- radiation for high accuracy measurements, e.g. charge density analysis, and Cr- radiation for proteins and nanomaterials
  • Large, curved RAPID-II imaging plate detector for high resolution measurements [ AgKα, sin(Θmax)/λ = 1.70 Ã…-1, d =Ìý 0.29 Ã…; MoKα,sin(Θmax)/λ = 1.34 Ã…-1, d = 0.38 Ã… ]
  • Software developed in-house by Dr. Vladimir V. Zhurov for highly accurate data reduction (VIIPP) and absorption correction (CCDABS)
